Have you considered that maybe you actually do owe the money? I know it sucks, but sometimes we make mistakes on our taxes without realizing it. Might be worth double-checking your math before you go picking a fight with the IRS.
Trust me, I've gone over my numbers like a million times. I'm pretty sure they've made a mistake, but I'm still nervous about challenging them.
Fair enough. In that case, def gather all your evidence before you contact them. And maybe consider getting a pro to look it over just to be sure?
PSA: Be careful about giving out personal info if you call the IRS! Lots of scammers out there posing as IRS agents. Always verify you're talking to the real deal before sharing any sensitive data.
One cautionary note: If you claimed certain credits like EITC or ACTC, be aware that even with a DDD, your refund might be subject to the PATH Act hold. I had a similar timeline to yours last year, got excited about seeing my DDD, but then had to wait an additional 2 weeks because the PATH Act prevents the IRS from issuing certain refunds before mid-February. Don't make financial commitments based on your expected refund date until the money is actually in your account.
I verified on Monday April 14, and I checked today April 26th and it is being process? Should I call the irs instead
Has anyone tried contacting their local Taxpayer Advocate Service? I've heard they can sometimes help with refund delays if you're experiencing financial hardship.
Pro tip: If you're expecting a big refund next year, consider adjusting your withholdings instead. It's basically giving the government an interest-free loan otherwise!
This! š I started doing this a couple years ago and it's so much better. More money in each paycheck and no stress about refund delays
Have you tried reaching out to your congressional representative? Sometimes they can light a fire under the IRS and get things moving.
I second this! My cousin did this and suddenly her refund issue got resolved in like 2 weeks. Worth a shot!

Ugh, I feel for you. The IRS is so backed up this year its ridiculous. I filed in February and just got my refund last week. Hang in there!

Pro tip: if you do get through to someone, ask them to put a note on your account about the financial hardship. It might help if someone else looks at your case later.
